<p>Anyone able to tell me what specifically they learn in the classes?</p>
<p>Also, do they get to learn accounting at all?</p>
<p>I'll be glad to hear some answers!</p>
<p>When I was there, SEAS essentially made it impossible to take accounting. It was neither a non-technical elective (even though the math-intensive economics classes are non-techs) nor a technical elective (because it isn't math/sci/eng). So, you'd have to take it without getting any sort of credit.</p>
<p>I still don't know what anyone learns in OR/EMS/IE. It didn't seem like much compared to what the real engineers did :)</p>

<p>the more math-intensive courses do not count as non-techs</p>

<p>very true, they are both pretty dumb majors for people who got stuck in the engineering school but realized that they'd fail if they did anything else or just simply dont wanna try. Sorry, but its true.</p>
<p>Is Shraf being serious or joking?</p>
<p>Shraf is being serious.</p>
<p>Shraf, what did you major in?</p>
<p>I'm a junior doing biomedical engineering.</p>
<p>Shraf's got a point and his views are widely-held among Columbia students.</p>
